Lesson 19
Dad's Grand Plan
Everyone was excited. It was holiday time. Kipper couldn't wait. "Only two days to go!" he said. Chip looked at Floppy. He was running round and round. They all laughed at him. "See! Even Floppy is excited," said Chip. Mum came in. She gave a big sigh. "Dad wants a family meeting," she said. "What's that?" asked Kipper. "Dad has a Grand Plan." "A Grand Plan?" said Chip. "What's a Gran Plan?" "I don't like the sound of it," said Biff. Everyone sat at the table. Dad had a made a long list of jobs. "I want everone to help then nobody gets cross," he said. Everyone looked at the list. Then all had jobs to do. Mum liked Dad's Grand Plan. Chip was not so sure. "I've packed my bag," said Biff. "And I've packed my bag," said Kipper. "I have not packed yet," said Dad. "Why not?" asked Mum. "I can't find my socks," said Dad, crossly. The socks were in the washing machine. "Why were they in there?" asked Dad. "That was where you put them," said Mum. It was time to go. Dads Grand Plan had worked. Nothing had gone wrong. "There's stell time," whispered Chip. Mum drove the car. Kipper was fed up. He didn't want to sit in the middle. "You can take turns," said Mum. Kipper was hot. He began to moan. "Can we stop for a drink?" asked Chip. "No," said Dad. "It will make us late." Kipper wanted to change seats but Dad didn't want to stop. "Maby we should," said Mum. "Yes, we are all thirsty," said Biff. Mum saw a place and stoped. She looked in the back of the car. "We can't have forgotten him!" But it was true. They had forgotten Floppy. "We'll have to go back for him," said Mum. They went back and got Floppy. But now they were late. Mum drove fast. "Slow down, Mum," said Kipper. "I feel sick." There was a bump. "What was that?" asked Dad. A bag had fallen off the roof rack. Mum stoped the car. The bag was in the road. There were clothes everywhere. "They look like Dad's clothes," said Mum. Dad's socks were in the road. His shirts were in the hedge. His pants were in a tree. The children couldn't help laughing. "Don't stand there laughing," said Dad. "This wasn't in Dad's Gran Plan," said Mum. At last they got to the holiday cottage. Next to it was a little stream. There was a rope swing on the tree. "It looks great!" said Kipper. Dad unlock the door. Everyone looked inside. "There's soot everywhere!" said Dad. "It has come from the chimney." "What's that!" gasped Mum. A black bird was in the room. "It's a crow!" said Dad. "It came down the chimney," said Mum. Dad caught the crow and let it out. Everyone was sorry for it. "I'm glad It's gown," said Kipper. "But what a mess it's made." "Cleaning up soot wasn't in Dad's Grand Plan." said Biff. " "Nor was having my pants in a tree," laughed Dad.
